✦ Synopsis

Core collapse supernovae are dominated by weakly interacting neutrinos. This provides a unique opportunity for macroscopic parity violation. We speculate that parity violation in a strong magnetic field can lead to an asymmetry in the explosion and a recoil of the newly formed neutron star. We estimate the size of this asymmetry from neutrino polarized-neutron elastic scattering, polarized electron capture and neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering in a (partially) polarized electron gas. @ 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Several perspectives that can be opened by studying the electroexcitation of the delta via parityviolating electron scattering from nuclei are examined, working within the context of the relativistic Fermi-gas model. A strong enhancement of the left-right asymmetry in the delta sector compared with
